Results from laboratory testing at ILAG

The outstanding non-stick effect in new condition (aha-experience for customers) weakens rapidly with the daily use. Extensive

laboratory tests have shown that a temperature load to 200 °C [392 °F] hardly impairs the quality and the long-term non-stick

performance. That means that the non-stick effect remains almost unchanged even after cooking many eggs and a variety of

chicken wings.

However, the non-stick effect will be quickly reduced if the coating is repeatedly exposed to higher temperatures. Temperatures

around 220 – 250 °C [428 – 482 °F] are normal for everyday cooking on the stove and will lead to a rapidly reduced non-stick effect,

even though these temperatures are below overheating.

That is why we have developed the new XERA-DUR technology.

This brand new technology for ceramic coating combines the properties of carefully selected raw materials and distinguishes

itself with remarkable characteristics. The result is the creation of a new, denser XEROGEL.

The dense Xerogel with intensely anchored heat-resistant non-stick donors has been able to significantly increase the quality

and long-life cycle.

Test method

With the development of XERA-DUR the preservation of non-stick effect was significantly improved,

even under high temperatures stress.

To check the excellent properties, we have performed the following test methods:

Egg test

The pan is heated for 3 minutes at 300 °C [572 °F], thereafter to frying 10 eggs (only egg white).

Then the pan is heated again for 30 minutes at 300 °C [572 °F] and another 10 eggs white fried.

This test cycle is repeated until the non-stick effect destroyed.

The test is terminated when the protein is no longer released from the pan 2 times in a row.

Chicken wings test

Chicken wings, which are marinated with one teaspoon of soy sauce, are placed at

235 °C [455 °F] in a coated XERA-DUR pan.

Each side of the wing will be fried 2 times 2.5 minutes, 10 minutes total.

The test is repeated 20 times – and the results are astounding.

The new durable XERA-DUR non-stick coating shows almost no discoloration, with even better non-stick effect

and significantly improved durability characteristics.

The results speak for themselves.

With the development of XERA-DUR, the preservation of the non-stick effect has been significantly improved,

even under high temperature stress.

XERA-DUR (1-coat)

Exceptional one coat system, which is

characterized primarily by an excellent

long-term non-stick effect at chicken test.

For improved networking and layer

thickness, the following should be carried

out: application of the one coat Xerogel

system. As soon as the first layer has

slightly dried, a second layer is applied

upon the first layer (same material).
